Andreas Gursky- german photographer and professor. I like his use of color and tight objects.

Don Mccullin- famous british photojournalist. I like this picture because it shows accurately what a soldier looks like in war.

Eugene Atget- pioneer documentary photographer. He tried to take pictures of all the streets in Paris before they became more modern, I think that's pretty awesome, preserving history for the next generations.

Brian Duffy- portrait and fashion photographer in England in the 60's and 70's. I picked this picture because I like the Beatles. He was one of the most famous portrait photographers of that era. I threw in the next one because I like Michael Caine.

Mario Testino- famous french portraitist-model work
Princess Diana Vanity Fair Cover photo
I really think this is a successful portrait. I think it works well for a vanity fair magazine.

Steve Mccury
American photojournalist best known for his work "afghan girl" in national geographic. I like this picture because it is documenting what is happening. I am a fan of realism. I also would like to be a national geographic photographer if I were ever to be a professional photographer.

Timothy Hogan is  a famous high end product photographer and still life photographer who works primarily in New York. I like this photo because I want to try some whiskey drinks on my birthday coming up in 2 weeks.

Christian Aslund- product photographer/tries to make his shots look like old 2d video games. I like this image because it draws your eyes throughout and gives a different perspective.

Kait Robinson-beauty/fashion and portrait photographer based in Brooklyn. I tried to pick one of her popuar pictures rather than one I liked and I don't really get this. I guess this girl is trying to look attractive next to a sea shell but I don't get why it would be considered a good picture.

Jeremy Cowart- all around artist practicing many mediums and he fell in love with photography after having experienced painting and graphic design. I like the use of color in this image and the use of light. I like the splatter effect of the colors and the swishing of the lights.

Annie Leibovitz- one of the most famous portrait photographers of all time. She uses many almost fantasy like elements in her pictures. I picked this picture because it is one of her most famous and most controversial.
